I got one word for ya: Grandkids! We have a bird book and binoculars by the window and they love watching the birds and trying to identify them. Of course I go all Cliff Clavin on them and make up all sorts of facts for them to absorb. Hopefully they don’t take too much of it to school. I fear the teachers may challenge some of my “facts”...

And I am pretty content sitting by that same window with a glass of the beverage of the day (Jameson Black Barrel yesterday afternoon). After flipping though 786 channels on Direct TV, I have come to the conclusion that watching birds is much more therapeutic. And $50, twice a year is pretty cheap for therapy...
